I recommend you get her assessed for demodex mites, yeast overgrowth or a bacterial infection as soon as possible as the earlier this is treated, the easier it will be to resolve. Oral or spit on medications and shampoos may be required depending on the results of the exam. If no infectious causes are detected, diet change may be recommended
